Hey... the server costs money and I've paid me subscription so I may as well get me money's worth... simple as that... :)

I won a registered-user subscription paid for by somebody else.  I have no job so I have to rely on the charity of others in a similar fashion.  Once I get a job then we'll see how it goes.

I voted yes, though I have not yet donated to this particular Amiga related item, but I'll try to send ya'll something this week.

The reason? Well because it is small guys and not giant fascist corporations that keep Amiga alive and for that I am grateful!

I had forgot about that and I did say I would ask to run another compo again sometime in the future to give away more free memberships, to me that way the members benefit and so does A.org. I'll need to ask Pyro about it again... :)

@ Kesa

You left out "Bribery & Corruption" that's the method I pay under (via a brown envelope, stuffed full o cash and left under a rock in the park)... :)


HECK Franko,

I hear you been going to the end of the rainbow and beating up on them poor Irish leperichans,,haven't yeh.

Yeah, I heard from old saint pat himself that he is missing about 4 pots of gold.

How do you expect them leperchans to earn their wings if you keep stealing there gold?

smerf
I have no idea what your talking about, so here is a doggy with a small pancake on his head.

MorphOS is a MAC done a little better

Most likely more people willing to chip in to feed the kitty now that the server is running smoother.  I was going to kick a donation in awhile back, but the forums started timing out and etc., so I never did.

I've fed the cat quite a few times in the past but now I think the cat should feed me for having to read franko crap posts on the site. I won't donate a dime until he's gone.

Isn't that what the ignore feature is for?  Or is this some moral war where "a person shouldn't have to ignore people!!111"?

Just curious why using the ignore feature wouldn't work for most people.

The site has advertising, and cheap hosting requirements. What are the donations for and why are they needed? If it was for a specific thing then perhaps, but it seems to be an ongoing "please give", with no clue the amounts being taken already. no thanks.

We are not making millions here, not even hundreds. Donations have been minimal.
